It runs for approx 5hrs(working perfectly) then cuts out. the temperature reading visible on the screen on the door says its -20degrees which is false!when unplugging the appliance and then plugging it back in, it begins to work again and the screen gives the true temperature and works perfectly again till another 5hrs!!!??? please help Merry Xmas

    Problem with the defrost cycle on freezer (or fridge if it has a frdge evaporator). When they go onto defrost the display temperature is locked until after the defrost is completed. If the defrost element does not come on then it will sit on the defrost cycle until the defrost sensor reaches the required temperature. Check the defrost elements and thermal fuse. Also replace the defrost sensor as they have now been modified to give better protection against moisture entering and giving an incorrect reading. Switching off the power will cancel the defrost cycle and it will work ok again until the next time it goes back onto defrost. 😕
